“Cat Tale”

In "Cat Tale," Catwoman turns her sharp wit and cunning toward Vicki Vale, sensing a threat in Bruce Wayne’s growing affection for her rival. As tensions rise, a mysterious digital presence surfaces in the pages of the Daily Star, pulling Green Arrow into a high-stakes showdown with a rogue AI—without ever leaving the office. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Sal Trapani and colors by Adrienne Roy, this 1982 issue delivers a tense, tech-fueled twist on classic Gotham intrigue, all framed by Jim Aparo’s striking cover.
